Mama Bear Taiwanese Cuisine 熊媽媽
June 04, 2015
I have always been a fan of Mama Bear at NIU! but have never tried the restaurant until recently and it was pretty good! Clean and simple decor, filled with locals. Here's what we ordered (clockwise from bottom):
- Cuttlefish Balls -just as good as I remember from the night market
- Popcorn Chicken - juicy with a soft batter; personally I prefer more of a crunch but B likes it
- Mama Bear Hot & Sour Dry Noodle - thought it was cold noodle, but it was a warm, very spicy after mixing!! But still I loved the texture of the noodles
- Taiwanese Hamburger - a soft cold bun with pork belly
Minced Pork Rice Combo - comes with 3 side dishes, soup and fruit
- Very generous amount of pork & rice, lots of sauce
- All three side dishes were really good - tomato egg, veggies
- Great deal for $8.99

Housemade Taro/Yam Balls with Fermented Glutinous Rice
We were full already but I wanted to try this anyway. The yam balls were quite firm, and the soup was sweet. About 20 minutes wait for them to cook this up from scratch.
Overall, plesantly surprised with my dinner and will be back to try more dishes! Best of the night was noodles and cuttlefish balls.
